Chapter 10: New Horizons
A/N: Sorry for not posting this yesterday I had came down with something and completely forgot to post this.
Barry's POV
I look at Thomas and Nora for clarifications on if this is true or not but they were as confused as I am.
"We're from the future as well but we haven't seen or heard about you." Thomas informed her.
"That's because I'm from another Timeline"
"Another timeline?" I asked
"I'll explain everything later I just need Cisco's help"
"Why Cisco?" Nora asked
"Because he's the only one who can send me home" We all ran up to the cortex to see Cisco and Caitlin trying to find Eddie.
"Cisco!" I yelled "Someone needs your help"
"Okay, who?" He said turning around "Who is this?"
"This is my daughter, from the future, again"
"Another daughter? How many kids do you two have in the future?"
"I'm not their daughter. I am Barry's daughter but not Caitlin" Nora remarked
"Then who's your mother?" I asked
"Iris" We all we kinda surprised by the fact that Iris was her mother. "But let me clarify I am not from your future. I am from a future of an alternate timeline"
"Alternate timeline?" Caitlin asked
"Yeah. Think of them as a Multiverse for an individual Earth. Infinite timelines who only can be seen if those events accrue, but even if the don't accrue the timeline still exists" We all we kinda confused by the fact that there's infinite timelines.
"I still don't get it" I said
"Okay, remember Flashpoint"
"Yeah"
"When you and Thawne ran back to the night your mother died you thought that timeline was erased but it wasn't. Flashpoint still exists we just aren't living in it"
"Okay I kinda get it but why do you need Cisco's help?"
"Because he can see through those timelines just like he can see through different Earths" We all look at Cisco who is trying to understand this new information.
"But how am I supposed to see your timeline if I've never been there before. The only other time that I did this was when Barry ran back in time but I could still see Reverse-Flash crushing my heart"
"You vibe me. I will get all the information from there. All you would need to do is remember it and open a breach there" Cisco picked up his glasses and proceeds to vibe her.
"You ready to go home?" He asked and she nodded. He opened up a breach which lead to that timeline. Nora walked through and Cisco closed the breach.
"Okay that was definitely weird, I mean alternate timelines, another daughter named Nora that's yours and Iris'"Cisco remarked. I rolled my eyes and looked over at Caitlin.
"Your not mad that in another timeline we aren't together are you?" I asked
"No, I'm not." She put her arms around my neck "I would only be mad if we don't end up in this timeline. I don't care about any other one" She kissed me and of course I kiss back.
"Not. In. The. Cortex." Cisco yelled at us. We both laugh and we look over to see Nora and Thomas standing there awkwardly which only made us laugh harder.
Caitlin's POV
I know I told Barry that I wasn't upset that we didn't end up together in that other timeline but it was tarring me up inside. I know it wasn't him, the same man I love, who I didn't end up with, it was another version of him in another timeline but I don't know. Part of me is really mad at him and I can feel it trying to take over.
Cisco's POV
Why do they always have to kiss here in the cortex. It gets really awkward for me especially if I walk in on them so I just completely banned it in the cortex. I did kinda want to laugh when I saw Nora and Thomas' faces but I felt sympathetic for them.
A week later
It's been around a week since we learned about alternate timelines that coexist with our own and we have not seen or heard anything about Eddie. The only interesting thing that has happened was that Barry went to go tell Iris about Eddie and she completely did not believe him. I may be still a little upset still with Barry about the whole changing the timeline thing but I at least listened to him, she… straight up ignored him. Joe has been trying to talk with her but she is started to act a bit guarded. I plan on asking Thomas about the future but I don't know if he will tell me anything. I find him in the speed lab.
"Hey Uncle Cisco" He said coming to a stop
"Hey Thomas I was wondering you wanted to come with to a bar, get some drinks and talk"
"Is Mom and Dad coming too? What about Nora?"
"Nah, just the two of us"
"Should we ask them first?"
"You said that I was you godfather in the future, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Godfather privilege, lets go" We left and went to The Press Box, the same bar that Barry and Caitlin went to when they were trying to find Peek-A-Boo.
"Ah, The Press Box, known in the family as the spot where Mom got so drunk she ended up stripping in front of Dad"
"Wait, What?! I don't even want to know" We graves a couple of drinks and sat down.
"So want did you want to talk about Uncle Cisco?"
"The future. I want to know more about it"
"Well both Nora and I were born in late 2018 as Nora Ronald Snow-Allen and Thomas Henry Snow-Allen"
"Wait Ronald Snow-Allen? They named her after Ronnie?"
"Yeah Dad at first objected to it but he ended up agreeing with it. Around fourteen years later Cobalt Blue attacked and killed Dad in front of all of us. You and Mom tried to save him using her power and other ways. But it was this event that Nora and I learned that we have powers"
"It must have been so hard for you to go threw the rest of you life without your Dad"
"It was but it ended up being Mom who was going threw it the worst. She locked everyone out of her life even pushing me and Nora out and completely disappearing. You were the one who took us in after she left"
"How old were you when she left?"
"We were seventeen"
"Did you ever find her?" He shook his head
A few hours later…
We decided to head back to STAR Labs to find Barry and Caitlin kissing.
"Are you for real right now?" I said putting my hands in the air
"Cisco this is what happens when two people love each other" Caitlin remarked
"Speaking of two people who love each other" Barry said looking over my shoulder. We all turn around to see Wally and Jesse walking in. "How's Earth-2?" He asked while giving them a hug.
"It's good but that's not why we came back" We all gave them a weird look. He started to run around the cortex.
"Woah" I said amazed. He came to a stop next to Jesse.
"I guess just like Jesse I got speed from when we tried to get your powers back"
"Also who are these two?" Jesse asked
A/N: After Cisco returned to Earth-1 Wally ended up leaving and going to Earth-2.
Barry's POV
"This is Nora and Thomas… our kids from the future" I explained
"Our?" Wally asked
"Me and Barry's"
